Belmont, Crusader fortress in Jerusalem Hills, Israel.
The stone walls of Belmont Fortress stand atop Tel Tzova, reaching 769 meters above sea level with views across the Judean landscape.
Built between 1140 and 1160 by the Knights Hospitaller, the fortress fell to Saladin's forces in 1187 following the Battle of Hattin.
The fortress ruins present medieval military architecture through remaining northern and western walls, displaying Crusader construction methods from the 12th century.
Visitors can reach the fortress ruins by following marked paths from the main road, with free parking and no entrance fees required.
Two ancient trees mark the entrance to Tel Tzuba: an 800-year-old oak and a 1200-year-old olive tree from the Crusader period.
